500g Calibration Weight
A precision scale needs a precision calibration weight to match, so Acaia built their own. Acaia calibration weights are built to F2 class equivalent standards (± 0.0075 g) in their own facility. The stainless steel material is durable to ensure accuracy over time, and the weight comes with an EVA foam case for protection during travel.
Why is calibration important?
Acaia scales are precision instruments. The weighing sensor responds not only to weight, but also to temperature effects, surface tilt, gravitational influence, voltage bias, etc. In order to rule out external factors and maintain the highest weighing accuracy of the scale, periodic calibration is advised. This procedure can be completed with a standard calibration weight like the one seen here.
For best results, we recommend calibrating scales on a regular basis, as well as whenever they are transported or moved to a new location.
